SE London houses - what do you think?

[MrFirstTimeBuyer]

Hi everyone, first time poster, long time reader.

We want to buy a house for a young couple / family in SE London. Budget is around 1-1.25m, and main criteria are a nice/safe area, finished house (not in need of renovation), and decent commute.

Any thoughts on these? The prices seem a bit crazy compared to properties that sold just last year.

I'd rather be too conservative and miss out on the first couple, then overpay and regret later. What do you think? Any thoughts/advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks. I've been diligently exploring it since we made the offer 😀

Discovered some interesting bits in the meantime - for example super cheap Bromley Borough tennis, car veteran meetup on second Tuesday every month in the Beckenham Place Park, some lovely restaurants on the high street etc

Thanks for updating and congratulations!

I may bump into you one day 😂

And with that update I'll almost certainly bump into you one day 🤣
